Wrigley Field erupted Tuesday night as Seiya Suzuki and Carson Kelly both made history — becoming the latest Cubs to hit a home run in their postseason debut. The sound of the bat hitting the ball echoed loudly, breaking the tension in the air, leaving thousands of fans in the stands unable to sit still.
The last time this happened was when Kyle Schwarber (2015) and Tyler Houston (1998) wrote their names into the history books. Even further back, it was Mark Grace (1989) and Rick Sutcliffe (1984) — icons who once made Chicago live in the booze of victory. And now, on September 30, 2025, Suzuki and Kelly officially join those legends.
With a decisive swing, Suzuki ignited the Cubs’ hopes, cementing his role as a star ready to explode on the biggest stage. Minutes later, Carson Kelly followed up with an equally earth-shattering hit, as if sending the message: The Cubs this season aren’t just here to participate — they’re here to conquer.
Marquee Sports Network immediately called it “a historic day” as the two etched their names into the team’s honor roll. Fans were ablaze on social media, reminiscing about “84” and yearning for revenge against that ill-fated season.
With the Cubs already ahead of the Padres in the Wild Card, the two home runs were more than just points — they were symbols of a spirited comeback, opening up a postseason journey that promises to be filled with incredible moments.
And with the lights on MLB’s biggest stage shining brightly, Chicago has every right to believe that history isn’t just being rewritten… it could be the start of a new, glorious chapter.
